Today, we examined the "draft" reading the students completed earlier in the term. I also informed the class that they will get a cheat sheet in which they can put down point form information for the essay question they have already received and that they want to write on. The cheat sheet CANNOT address any information that can be used anywhere else on the test (e.g: no mention of information from a source for the essay that they have not received a solid question on or information about literary devices, conventions, essay structure). This cheat sheet can have no more than 75 words on it.
Keep in mind that you are writing on a multi-source essay question.
I must have the cheat sheet no later than the end of the school day on June 22. If it is not done as requested, it will be returned (if it is not done as requested and the test is the next day, you will not receive it - get these in early in case they need revision).
In discussion about the "Draft" questions, we discussed transition words (how to choose wisely) and finding the main point in a paragraph/essay.
